A pencil drawing enhanced with ink applied with a brush, depicting an elderly maid holding a piece of paper in her hand next to two young women finishing their night in a large bed. One is smoking in the background; the other is giving instructions to the maid.
The drawing is monogrammed in the lower right corner and has a few stains. It is set in a late 19th-century wooden and gilded stucco frame with some damage. Without the frame, the drawing measures 46.7 x 36.8 cm.
Jean-Louis Forain (1852–1931), a student of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux and Jean-Léon Gérôme at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and a friend of Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, and Edgar Degas, exhibited in the Impressionist exhibitions four times (1879, 1880, 1881, and 1886). Subsequently, his career as a press illustrator played a decisive role in his professional life.
